Monorail: Just for fun
  • Tip Rating:
  • 'Mode': AROUND
    Category: Other
    Getting TO/AROUND: The monorail is basically something for the "tourists" to do. My boyfriend had a desire to ride it and so we did. It was a little wobbly; which made me nervous. There are not alot of seats so be prepared to stand. I guess it was one of those do it because it's there attractions.

    Buses: Easy and Convenient
  • Tip Rating:
  • 'Mode': AROUND
    Category: Bus
    Getting TO/AROUND: We utilized the busses every chance we got. Wheteher it was going to Bondi, Watsons Bay or Circular Quay..we were on one. The busses aren't always on time; usuallty 5 minutes behind. They are clean, easy and a nice way to see the sights.

    Ferry / Jet Cat / River Cat: Fun and Relaxing
  • Tip Rating:
  • 'Mode': TO,AROUND
    Category: Ship/Boat
    Getting TO/AROUND: The ferry is a pleasant way to get where you're going with some nice water views. I love the water so I could ride the ferry all day, whether it's to Manly, Watsons Bay or the zoo.

    Getting TO/AROUND: The Metro Light Rail began operating in 1997. It takes you from Daling Harbour, Ultimo, Pyrmont, Central Station, Lilyfield, Leichhardt, Glebe, The fish Market, Rozelle Bay, St. John Square and Capitol Square.

    It was a nice clean ride to get to the Fish Market.

    Walking: Just walk for goodness sake!
  • Tip Rating:
  • 'Mode': TO,AROUND
    Category: Other
    Getting TO/AROUND: There is no better way to explore than on foot. It's great exercise and gives you an excuse to have some dessert, since you can walk off the calories. There's nothing better than to stroll hand in hand with your man while in such beautiful surroundings!

    Airways / Airports: Quantas
  • Tip Rating:
  • 'Mode': TO
    Category: Airplane
    Getting TO/AROUND: Quantas was a great airline to use. The flight was very smooth and comfortable. The flight crew was very friendly and accomodating. The movies and TV on demand was a great way to pass the time. The meals and snacks were not bad considering it was "airline" food. I can't wait to fly with them again!

    Getting TO/AROUND: Sometimes it's just fun to ride the ferry just to relax. No destination is needed....just sit back and enjoy the beautiful views from the water. Sydney looks wonderful from the ferry and you see so many new things you never noticed before while walking on land.
